Chapter 3369

Ye Liuyun’s Soul-Sealing Beads were already full.

He had the puppets go to the Black-Armored Soldiers and retrieve all the Soul-Sealing Beads, then handed them to Lin Feier and the other women, telling them to quickly use the Soul Refining Cauldron to refine them and absorb whatever parts they needed. They had to empty the beads as soon as possible so they could continue storing resources for soul cultivation.

Even the demonic energy that Lin Feier and the others could not absorb was left for the First Clone and several demonic beasts to absorb as well.

Ye Liuyun also kept himself busy during the battles that followed. After observing the demonic army for half a day and confirming that there were indeed no demons with stronger soul power than his, he began using the power of time to condense giant spiritual-energy beasts. He then continuously used Spatial Force to sustain them, allowing the beasts to launch attacks.

With the help of the giant spiritual-energy beasts, the demonic army attacking from the front suffered even heavier losses. The beasts intercepted and killed the demons from afar, leaving little need for the firepower chariots.

The occasional demons that slipped past the giant spiritual-energy beasts were also taken out by the demonic beasts.

The Demonic Army’s Grand Commander was completely helpless against these giant spiritual-energy beasts. Their power over heaven and earth was simply too strong, and no one could withstand it. Moreover, their bodies were enormous. At most, a peak Ninth-Level demon could punch a hole in one. But Ye Liuyun would simply continue condensing spiritual energy to restore the beast to its original state.

Moreover, demonic energy was abundant here, so it could replace spiritual energy without diminishing the power of the attacks.

Just as the commander of the demonic army was watching the giant spiritual-energy beasts, three large warships traveling at tremendous speed suddenly appeared behind his army.

By the time the demons discovered them, the warships had already come to a halt, and the soldiers had begun disembarking and forming ranks. It was too late for the demons to do anything.

As soon as Jiang Yuanhai’s three-hundred-thousand-strong army had formed up, it charged straight at them, with the firepower chariots leading the way.

Ye Liuyun also released ten thousand female soldiers. The giant spiritual-energy beasts and the Demon-Sealing Stele led the way, while the firepower chariots formed a line behind them. The female soldiers all raised their crossbows and launched a counterattack against the demons.

At the same time, two hundred thousand human soldiers appeared behind the demonic army to the left of Ye Liuyun’s camp. They were Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan’s forces.

As soon as these troops had arranged themselves into formation, they immediately brought out the firepower chariots and began advancing on the demonic army.

The ten thousand puppets and the Ancient Demon Legion inside the camp also launched a counterattack against the demonic army on this side.

The two demonic armies attacking from the front and the left immediately found themselves in danger of being caught between two fronts.

"This is bad. Their reinforcements have arrived!" The commander of the demonic army immediately realized that Ye Liuyun’s forces consisted of far more troops than those currently visible.

"Have the entire army withdraw to the right!" The commander of the demonic army immediately issued the order for all the demonic forces to retreat.

He did not know how many reinforcements Ye Liuyun had and was afraid of losing the remaining million-plus demonic soldiers.

Ye Liuyun’s army was equipped with firepower chariots. If the demons wanted to break through their defenses, at least half of them would have to die. The disparity was simply too great.

The demons attacking Ye Liuyun’s camp immediately retreated like a receding tide.

When Yu Xiaofeng saw this, he immediately deployed half of the firepower chariots and divided the one-hundred-thousand-strong Death Legion into two groups, blocking the escape routes of several demonic armies on the left. He would encircle and destroy this group first. As for the demonic forces in the other directions, they did not have enough troops to stop them and could only let them escape.

Ye Liuyun also immediately ordered the female soldiers to focus their attacks on the retreat route of the frontal army. Although they could only hold one side, the demonic army would still have to pay a heavy price to withdraw through there.

"Retreat!"

The commander of the demonic army did not hesitate. He knew they would have to pay a heavy price, but that was still better than total annihilation.

But this time, the Demon-Sealing Stele gave him no chance to escape. It immediately charged over and smashed down toward him.

Ye Liuyun also released two soul sources. One transformed into a soul blade and charged into the commander’s sea of consciousness to kill his soul, while the other became a Thunder Dragon Beast and attacked the seas of consciousness of the guards beside him.

This was also thanks to the fact that he had refined soul sources. The seas of consciousness of some demons contained defensive forces such as demonic energy, poisonous gas, and flames, while some even possessed defensive treasures.

But none of them could injure his soul sources now. Even when they were struck, he could immediately restore the damage. The souls of those demons were far too weak; even when they traded injuries with him, they gained no advantage and were soon killed by him.

With a thunderous boom, the Demon-Sealing Stele came crashing down with Ye Liuyun’s assistance, smashing the Demonic Army’s commander into a mass of flesh.

Jiang Yuanhai’s three-hundred-thousand-strong army also charged into the battle.

The strength and cultivation realms of these three hundred thousand human soldiers were far higher than those of the demonic soldiers. Thus, even without using the firepower chariots, they slaughtered the demons in wave after wave, overwhelming the demonic army like a flood.

Ye Liuyun led the demonic beasts and female soldiers in doing their best to intercept the demons trying to escape. He also had to keep refilling the Soul-Sealing Beads that had been emptied, leaving him no time to manage the giant spiritual-energy beasts. Before long, the beasts dissipated as they fought.

When Yu Xiaofeng saw that the demons in the camp had been thoroughly defeated, he gathered the remaining fifty thousand soldiers of the Death Legion and their chariots. He also had the fifty thousand demonic soldiers led by Black Mountain and the Tiger-Headed Beast King pursue the retreating demonic soldiers under the protection of the Black-Armored Soldiers.

The demonic army collapsed like a landslide. Without the unified command of its Grand Commander, its soldiers fled in all directions. Some commanders had warships or flying vessels, which they released before hurriedly cramming in some demonic soldiers and fleeing the planet.

The remaining demonic soldiers scattered in all directions. Some ran toward the starry sky on their own, while others searched everywhere for their units.

The forces on Ye Liuyun and Jiang Yuanhai’s side slaughtered the most fiercely.

The five-hundred-thousand-strong army directly in front of them had already been reduced to just over three hundred thousand after three hours of attrition. Apart from the fifty or sixty thousand who escaped, the rest were completely wiped out. Their corpses covered the ground and blood flowed like a river. Even the Demon-Sealing Stele could not absorb it all.

Lei Ming, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and the Demon Lion all scrambled to collect the corpses. Even if they did not need them themselves, they could give them to the demonic beasts in their spatial world.

On Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan’s side, the Ancient Demons were present, so the nearly seventy to eighty thousand remaining demonic soldiers surrendered directly to the Ancient Demons after being surrounded.

Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan immediately reorganized their forces according to Yu Xiaofeng’s orders and pursued the fleeing demons into the starry sky, intercepting as many as possible.

The Death Legion was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Black Rock and Xenocide Sand first brought the surrendered demons into the spatial world and had them all sign loyalty contracts.

Yu Xiaofeng’s pursuit also encountered little resistance. The Death Legion was entirely responsible for surrounding and driving the demonic soldiers together, after which Black Mountain and the Tiger-Headed Beast King persuaded them to surrender.

Thus, after pursuing them for a while, they had no extra troops left to continue the chase and could only stop, leaving the Death Legion to clean up the battlefield.

He then had Jiang Yuanhai reorganize his forces and first seal off the entire planet with his troops. After that, Black Mountain led the demonic legion in slowly capturing the surrendered soldiers.
